Furthermore, we’ve raised over £1.8 million in funding from prominent fintech venture capitalists and private equity angels, underscoring the confidence of industry leaders in our vision and potential.
Our Philosophy
- Small team: Small talented teams outperform large and slow-moving companies. We avoid bureaucracy, keep meetings to a minimum and focus on creating value.
